It would be foolish not to use a tool that automatically scans your video playback system. It is built into Windows 10 and is easily accessible to any user. It is very likely that this will be enough to fix the problem, if anything, it certainly won’t hurt. From experience, the repair tool works well, often detects breakdowns and fixes them, or at least tells you what to do.

Windows uses the Microsoft Store to play videos, so clearing its cache can often help. Although this solution cannot be called a panacea, it is simple to implement, which is why we put it as one of the first methods. The easiest way to get things done is to paste into the command line wsreset.exe…

Method 3: open access to the file

If the system does not have privileges to use and process the file, it is not able to play it. This can be done both for the whole folder and for individual items.

Instructions:

1. Right-click on the file and select “Properties”.
2. On the “Security” tab, click on the “Change” button.
3. We set the checkbox “Full Control” for “System” and “Administrators”.

Method 4: create a new user profile

When all the previous methods did not give a positive result, it is time to conclude that there are problems in the user’s files. Creating a new account should help with this issue.

How to do it:

1. Open “Options” with the keys Win + I and go to the “Accounts” section.
2. We go to the tab “Family and other people”.
3. We select “Add user for this computer”.
4. We follow the instructions from the instructions.

All that remains is to transfer the files of the previous user, all personal files are located in the appropriate sections C: Users. In the new account, the error 0xc00d36cb should not appear, and the video should start without problems.
